Great location and price!

We had a great time. The location was perfect for us, close to our family, trails, and the rattlesnake cafe! It worked really well for the 4 of us, and had room for my brother when he decided to stay one of the nights. Would definitely stay again!

It was a place to stay and very convenient location. Having only one shower for four people and had to go into other bedroom wasn’t ver convenient. I would say a great place for just one couple!

Comfort and convenience

We enjoyed our stay at this guesthouse. The Rattlesnake location is convenient to all that Missoula has to offer while, at the same time, feeling like a getaway. The host, Shannon, is welcoming and very responsive but not at all intrusive. We felt very comfortable here.

Very convenient and comfortable stay in Missoula

Shannon, the property owner, was very responsive to emails and question regarding the property. The location was perfect for attending activities at University of Montana. Hiking and walking trails were nearby. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. I hope we have the opportunity to return to Missoula again.
